Winning Isn't The Only Thing It's Everything!

"Lets get that word out there.  FSO USA. We are on fire." 

Good Morning Folks,

Well I woke up to yet more snow in NYC. And it says it is going to be a week of snow. Three storms in a row. But that didn't stop the Seahawks last night! And a little snow won't stop FSO ever.

Talk about having a strategy to win and witnessing one of the most dominating team performances ever!

They certainly did and shut down Peyton Manning. That was not luck. All strategy. Just like us.  Nothing is won or gained on basic skills. It is all wining, planning and of course a ton of STRATEGY. 

The Seattle Seahawks played an outstanding game and became the winners. Total domination on all fronts from special teams to starters. 

They started the year asking each other WHY NOT US? 

Every day the team came in and gave it all they had. Each individual player and coach gave it all they had. 

They would accept nothing short of a win in the big game.  

A game to remember for sure and another one those great life experiences - just like the Seahawks - FSO is on fire and Inspiring a Nation.

It's all about team work!

With that in mind I want to share with the world on this blog, what we do at FSO to inspire team work and bring out everyone's best.

==> (re)IMAGINE Hospitality Site of the Month
One of the more highly competitive and coveted awards for FSO is our (re)IMAGINE Site of the Month. To put the competition on an even playing field this year, we broke out our sites into two categories strictly based on headcount. They are as follows:

• *The Paramount Group – Includes sites with 5 headcount and below 
• *The Colassal Group – Includes sites with 6 headcount and above

Represented by a Stanley Cup Replica, the award goes to the most outstanding FSO Site of the Month in each of the above mentioned categories. In addition to showcasing the accomplishment with a trophy, each site that wins will be provided with a social event budget to host a gathering of their choice (catered lunch, ice cream social, bowling party). 

Winners of this award will automatically be entered into the running for our (re)IMAGINE Site of the Year. Cheers to teamwork & collaboration!

Our January winners will be announced right here soon.

The future is bright, and I promise you I personally could not be more focused on helping each and every one of you achieve your greatest success. 

Never lose that skip in your step, fire in your belly or twinkle in your eye!

Have a great day folks and see you all soon.  

Mitch :-)
